By far the easiest entry i've had into the country! I had to wait about half hour for my turn, but when i stepped up, i handed over my passport, with the sealed envelope for my K1 visa. The guy opened it, had a quick flick through, made some pleasant conversation, then stamped everything and wished me a happy wedding! I've had some really awful experiences getting though border patrol in the past, and was expecting to be pulled into the secondary questioning..... i was so excited to have such a pleasant experience  |

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at about 10.45 for our 11am interview, went to the window to log our arrival, then sat in the waiting room for about 10 minutes before my name was called. The interviewer was incredibly shy, and lacking in people skills, avoided eye contact and didn't really say much. I had 2 huge files of stuff, along with a big photo album - none of which was needed. He asked a few questions like my parents names, husbands date of birth & my address - all questions from the forms submitted. He asked my husband how we met, and then said I'd have my greencard in about 2 weeks. I'd say we were there for 5 minutes at the most, and had the distinct feeling we were approved before we even walked in the door.
Although it was a very easy interview, I wouldn't say it was pleasant at all. I felt very relaxed about the whole thing until I met the interviewer, his lack of people skills made both of us feel on edge. I wasn't expecting him to be our friend, but I did think someone in a position like that would be able to hold a conversation, without looking like he was terrified of people!
The interviewer wasn't unpleasant, just painfally shy.
However, the security staff, and the guy at the window were incredibly friendly and helpful, also, the other people who were being called before us seemed to have friendly interviewers greeting them...... guess it all depends who you get!
I am from the UK - not sure if that has an influence on my interview or not, but thought i'd add to help out people reading the review |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
